Optimise Brain Health with the Right Fats and Brain Technology in Ho Chi Minh City
In the quest for better brain performance and long-term health, what you eat and how you manage stress (reduce stress and boost focus) – matters. At Body Expert Systems and our THRIVE Saigon memberships, we combine nutritional strategies with brain training technology and other key treatments that help you reduce inflammation, protect the blood-brain-barrier, relief stress, enhance focus, and build long-term resilience.
Let’s explore how essential fats and cutting-edge stress management tools can work together to support optimal brain health and performance by reduce stress in Saigon, Vietnam.
Good Fats vs. Bad Fats: What You Need to Know
Not all fats are created equal. While your brain needs certain fats to function, others do the opposite – damaging cells, fuelling inflammation, and impairing memory and mood.
Essential Fats That Support Brain Health
— Olive oil, fish, avocado, nuts, and seeds are rich in monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, known for their brain-supportive qualities.
— A 28-year study published in JAMA Network Open found that people who consumed more than 7g of olive oil daily had a 28% lower risk of dementia-related death.
— Omega-3s from fatty fish, flaxseed, and walnuts help with neuroplasticity, mood regulation, and focus.
These fats reduce inflammation, support the blood-brain barrier, and fuel neurotransmitter function, improving mental clarity and memory, as well as reduce stress and boost focus
The Silent Threat: Seed Oils and Cognitive Decline
Seed oils – like soybean, corn, sunflower, grapeseed, safflower and canola oil (aka rapeseed oil) – raise serious concerns about creating inflammation and oxidative stress within our bodies. They are:
— Highly processed and chemically extracted
— Extremely high in omega-6 fatty acids, which promote chronic inflammation
— Linked to neurodegeneration, brain fog, and metabolic dysfunction
Reducing your intake of these oils can significantly lower your body’s inflammatory load, protecting your brain long-term.
What is worse is that these are the most common oils in our supermarkets, restaurants and food supply.
While seed oils are often marketed as “heart healthy,” the real danger lies in how they’re commonly used: in processed and ultra-processed foods. The problem? These ultra-processed foods are already loaded with refined sugars, artificial ingredients, and sodium. Seed oils act as a carrier for even more inflammation, compounding the damage. A large review of 45 studies found that greater consumption of ultra-processed foods is strongly linked to increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases, depression, and cognitive decline.
In short: you’re not just eating oil – you’re eating a toxic blend of inflammatory triggers that impact both your body and your brain.
Why is it so important to eat good fats? Your body builds itself from the fats you eat. Inflammatory seed oils don’t just pass through – they become part of you. Eat junk fats, build junk cells. Every bite shapes your brain, hormones, and energy.
The best fats to cook with are butter, ghee, coconut oil & avocado oil. Other great oils for salads/dressings are olive oil, walnut oil and flaxseed oil.
